Salazar's proposed compromise is that he and the Dems would agree to allow the Republicans to confirm all eight of the currently fillibustered extremists in return for the Republicans agreeing that the Democrats would maintain the "right" to fillibuster other extremists. That is no compromise it is a complete surrender and Salazar needs to be called immediately by Democrats reminding him that they did not vote for a Democrat in order to have him cave in to the Right Wing Republican extremists.
What is most remarkeably frustrating about this report is that 1) Salazar has no potential electoral vulnerability to worry about except for the possibility that Progressives will sit on our hands the next time he asks for our help and 2) it appears that the Republicans do not have the votes for their "nuclear option" and his compromise would snatch defeat for us out of the jaws of victory.
